See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Lipitor, a medication commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol levels, may not lose effectiveness with high fat intake. However, it's crucial to note that high fat intake, particularly saturated and trans fats, can increase cholesterol levels in the body [1].

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [2]. Even if a person continues to consume a high-fat diet, Lipitor would still inhibit the production of cholesterol in the body.

However, it's important to remember that while Lipitor can help manage cholesterol levels, it's not a cure for high cholesterol or a pass to consume unhealthy foods. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes are crucial in managing cholesterol levels and overall heart health [3].
